his weekend, Live Arts Bard will present a new work of dance by Abby Z and the New Utility, abandoned playground. A hyperkinetic contest of physical daring and virtuosity, abandoned playground is the latest exhilarating performance by Abby Zbikowski, winner of the 2017 Juried Bessie Award and a major new force in contemporary dance. Her high-adrenaline choreography combines elements of hip-hop, punk, West African and street dance, praised by The New York Times as “an onslaught of thwacking arms, emphatic kicks, dizzying spins, swift somersaults, perilous balances and slippery contortions.” Performed and created in collaboration with Alexa Bender, Shaela Davis, Justin Faircloth, Ali Herring, Jen Lu, Fiona Lundie, Jennifer Meckley, Evelyn Sanchez Narvaez and Jessie Young, the piece features choreography by Abby Zbikowski, original music by Raphael Xavier, lighting design by Jon Harper and costume design by Abby Zbikowski and Karen Zbikowski. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 31 and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 1 at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts’ LUMA Theater. Tickets cost $25 and are available, along with additional information, at http:// fishercenter.bard.edu or by calling the box office at (845) 758-7900.

The iconic art of Peter Max defined the psychedelic experience of the 1960s, or at least the broad commercial expression and perception of it: Colorful imagery of gurus, sages, runners, flyers, Zen boats, snowcapped mountains, planets, stars and sunbeams, Max’s cosmic posters adorned the walls of college dorm rooms and major museums alike. Opening on April 7, the Museum at Bethel Woods presents “Peter Max: Early Paintings,” bringing together for the first time the major collections of Robert Casterline and Shelly Fireman.
Casting/crew call: April theater workshops for HVSF’s Rip Van Winkle It’s always exciting to learn what the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF) has in store for audiences at beautiful Boscobel. This coming summer’s lineup will include HVSF’s first-ever mainstage commission: an original adaptation by Seth Bockley (who will also direct) of Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle. In this version – subtitled Or, Cut the Old Moon into Stars – we meet Rip’s adventurous daughter and her hardworking mother, tinkers, butchers, innkeepers, tall-tale-telling wives, a few seafaring ghosts, the bespectacled author behind the original story and the beating heart of a community poised somewhere between the distant past and the not-sodistant future. The cast is listed as including Liam Craig, Robyn Kerr, Maribel Martinez, Sean McNall and “Hudson Valley Residents.” That’s where you come in, Gentle Reader: Attend either of two free Community Workshops – one focusing on storytelling and the other on design – coming up in April in Newburgh and several other locations, and you qualify to audition to join the cast for four Labor Day weekend performances of this world-premiere production.

Museum seeks photos of farms inundated to build reservoirs Once you know a bit of their history, the scenic pleasure of traveling around the Catskills’ reservoirs becomes mixed with a note of melancholy. These water-filled hollows are haunted by the ghosts of the “drowned towns” and the people who once dwelt there. Who were they? What were their lives like? Where did they go when their homesteads were inundated to supply millions in the New York metropolitan area with sweet, clean drinking water? The Time and the Valleys Museum in Grahamsville is dedicated to preserving the legacy of this area. In the fall of 2018, the Museum will open Phase I of a 1930s Catskill Family Farm, which will include a farmhouse, milkhouse, reconstructed 1870s barn, workshop powered by a working waterwheel, outhouse, wellhouse and electric plant. In recreating this farm, the Museum will bring to life the story of the “takings,” so that people today can understand and appreciate the sacrifice of the many families forced to give up their homes so that New York City could build its water system.

Period photography constitutes an important part of telling this story. The Museum already has many photos of farms taken to build the Rondout (Sullivan/Ulster) and Neversink Reservoirs (Sullivan). Because the recreated farm will represent all of the Catskill Delaware reservoirs, the Museum currently seeks photos of farms taken to build the other four: the Ashokan (Ulster), Schoharie (Schoharie/Delaware/Greene), Cannonsville (Delaware) and Pepacton (Delaware) Reservoirs. Anyone with photos of farms or farm buildings taken for any of New York City’s reservoirs who would like to include them in the Catskill Family Farm exhibit is asked to contact Donna Steffens at (845) 985-7700 or by e-mailing info@ timeandthevalleysmuseum.org. Located at 332 Main Street (Route 55) in Grahamsville in Sullivan County, the Time and the Valleys Museum is open from noon to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday from Memorial Day to Labor Day and weekends in September. Current exhibitions include “Water and the Valleys,” “Tunnels, Toil and Trouble” and “Picture Yourself(ie) in the 1930s.” Admission is by a suggested donation of $5 for adults, $2 for children under age 16 and free for children under 6 and activeduty military members. Town of Neversink and Town of Denning residents receive
free admission every Thursday. For more information, call (845) 985-7700, e-mail info@timeandthevalleysmuseum.org or visit www.timeandthevalleysmuseum.org.

SUNY ULSTER SPECIAL EVENT CRIMES OF THE HEART
By Beth Henley Thursday, April 12 — Sunday, April 22 Thursday - Saturday 7:00 p.m., Sundays 2:00 p.m., Quimby Theater, Vanderlyn Hall Featuring SUNY Ulster students and directed by Stephen Balantzian, Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Theatre. The three MaGrath sisters are back together in their hometown of Hazelhurst, Mississippi for the first time in a decade. Lenny, the eldest, never left Hazelhurst -- she is the caretaker of the sisters’ cantankerous Old Granddaddy. Meg, the middle sister, left home to pursue stardom as a singer in Los Angeles, but has, so far, only found happiness at the bottom of a bottle. And Babe, the youngest, has just been arrested for the murder of her abusive husband, Zackery Bottrelle. Under the scorching heat of the Mississippi sun, past resentments bubble to the surface and each sister must come to terms with the consequences of her own “crimes of the heart.” CRIMES OF THE HEART is the recipient of the 1982 Tony Award for best play and the āĊĉāƫ 1(%06!.ƫ .%6!ƫ"+.ƫ !/0ƫ,( 5ċƫĸāĀƫ/1##!/0! ƫ +* 0%+*ƫđƫ".!!ƫ"+.ƫ/01 !*0/ƫđƫ0% '!0/ƫ 0ƫ ++.ċ For more information call 845-687-5262 www.sunyulster.edu

MUSIC Gase’s Arone Dyer makes an appearance as well. David Garland has made the music and its ample documentation available on Bandcamp, but Verdancy may be that rare case in which the physical media and packaging really help the listener make sense of what amounts to nothing less than a new world of revelatory music. $42 might seem a lot for a record, but when David Garland’s Verdancy arrives in your box, it’s Christmas for you. For music and more information, visit https://davidgarland.bandcamp.com. – John Burdick
Waves of green David Garland’s revelatory new release, Verdancy
I
t is hard, really hard, to get the arms of your mind around the entirety of David Garland’s Verdancy, but well-worth the time spent failing. On four subtly differentiated volumes of experimental music (shipping as four beautifully packaged CDs in a branded box with a resealable fabric band), the veteran New York composer, writer and radio host conjures a profoundly coherent and surprising world of immersive sound. And yet I’ve already misrepresented it, already failed. Keywords like “sound,” “experimental” and “immersive” are usually code for drones, sound objects and noise, not tunes. That is hardly the story here. There is plenty of song on Verdancy, an abundance of purposeful and melodydriven composition, elegant harmonic movement throughout, a concise chamber vignette for every long-form pattern study, near-fugues, tone poems and quite a few moments that require the word “pop” to represent fairly. Am I flailing? Very well, I am flailing. This music defies stylistic and qualitative description, but one must yet try. We’ll start by calling it two things: 1) Serious. Verdancy is contemporary classical music in a crossover tradition that we can trace back to Minimalism and, especially, the postmodern avant-garde
Gospel concert on Thursday in Newburgh

of the ’80s, in which milieu Garland is a beloved and respected figure, both as a maker and as prolific advocate/critic. Verdancy is art song, drone-serene and drone-disturbed, palpable sound-forsound’s-sake, texture-based composition, organic patterns and their dissolution. Like most of the serious music of its era and in its traditions, it is lean, stringently cleansed of expressive cliché. It is played with discipline, awareness, spontaneity and a kind of cultivated naïveté, the sound of the composer acknowledging and undoing centuries of accumulated tradition and culture to get back to something close to pure music and first mind. “I studied hard/When we moved to the trees/So many things to unlearn,” Garland sings on “When We Moved to the Trees.” 2) New York. Verdancy is explicitly Garland’s response to and reflection on the experience of moving from the City to our verdant hills (returning, in a spiritual sense, to his rural youth), and it is a pastoral record in many respects: environmental in subject, reedy timbre and design. But this music could not exist apart from the boundary-blurring, globally aware impulse of the New York City of the ’80s and forward, when, in figures as diverse as Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson and Bill Laswell, art got all balled up with pop, the street and the world. On Verdancy, Garland sings of nature, but his tongue is as New York as “fuhgettaboutit.” Verdancy is primarily and richly acoustic; but even that is misleading,
and not just because there are some electronic birds amidst the choirs of clarinets, ocarinas, organ pipes, flutes, accordion and bowed psaltery. If Verdancy’s democratic colloquies of melody and texture can be said to have a lead voice, it would be the Kenji guitar: an electro/ acoustic 12-string modified by Garland ’s son Kenji Garland, transformed into an unpredictable and gesturally interactive resonant animal. The electronic components of the Kenji guitar do not themselves produce tones, but rather provoke them in the strings and wood of the instrument, inciting resonances, drones and controllable polyphonic feedback. If you, like me, are now wondering, “Where the hell can I get mine?” bear in mind that Garland himself had to borrow Sean Lennon’s to use on this record. Yeah. As I mentioned above, David Garland is an eminence in the New York music world, a generous, prolific presence with whom people flock to work. He has, over the years, collaborated with John Zorn, Yoko Ono, Sufjan Stevens, Meredith Monk and many other names you might know – and usually on his turf, not theirs. While Verdancy is overwhelmingly played by Garland himself, the assists from bigname friends are many and – fittingly – heavy on the Hudson Valley locals. The brilliant composer and vocalist Iva Bittova is a frequent presence throughout. Two great progressive drummers, Otto Hauser and Mice Parade’s Adam Pierce, lend percussive support. Garland’s longtime friend Yoko Ono sings on the record, and her 1964 poem “Color Piece” provides the text of Verdancy’s first track. Buke and

T
ime and Space Limited in Hudson presents two separate performances by Peter Schumann’s legendary Bread & Puppet Theater on March 29 and 30. Notoriously radical and topical, Bread & Puppet is strongly associated with the activism of the counterculture, but was founded well before the height of the era, in the New York of the very early ’60s. Named for its habit of serving homemade bread to audiences (a physical expression of the notion that art is as essential to life as bread), Bread & Puppet took on very specific issues in its work, from the Vietnam War to the MOVE fiasco to the closing of nuclear power plants. Intellectuals like Howard Zinn and Andrei Codrescu have sung the praises of Bread & Puppet, and its players were among those famously arrested, SWAT-style, at the 2000 Republican Convention. On Thursday, March 29, Bread & Puppet presents Cantastorias from the Possibilitarian Arsenal, a raucous career retrospective and manifesto of sorts. On Friday, March 30 at 7:30 p.m., Bread & Puppet presents The Basic Byebye Show. A series of quiet object fantasies unfolds in black, white and grey inside a small fabric stage printed with elementary words: “Resist,” “Bread,” “Yes,” “Sky,” “Riot,” “Byebye.” Outside, an orchestra of nonsense instruments plays. A birch forest grows. Sculpted clouds produce hands, chairs and rain. The storm passes. The episodes that make up The Basic Byebye Show develop in abstract counterpoint to periodic handkerchief-assisted “basic byebyes” to various brutal unnecessities of our current politics. Admission to each show costs $15 general, $12.50 for TSL members and $10 for students and children. Time and Space Limited is located at 434 Columbia Street in Hudson.

The world-renowned Merlin and Polina Shepherd Klezmer Duo brings its blend of world music, jazz, classical, Islamic, Russian, Yiddish and klezmer sounds to Club Helsinki Hudson on Sunday, April 8 at 7 p.m. This performance is part of the Rogovoy Salon, the music and literary series curated and hosted by cultural journalist and music critic Seth Rogovoy. “Merlin Shepherd is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential klezmer clarinetists of our time,” said Rogovoy. “He is simultaneously a pioneer of the early-music approach to klezmer, recreating the sound of 19th-century ensembles on period instruments, as well as one of the most forward-looking musicians in the field, drawing on his extensive musical background and palette to find affinities among Yiddish music and classical, theater, Balkan, jazz, punk, funk and rock – occasionally even swapping his clarinet for electric guitar and letting loose like klezmer’s answer to Jimmy Page.” Tickets for this performance cost $15 and $20.

here are oldies and then there are Oldies. The first refers to anything that’s old and that mattered for at least half a cultural moment. But capital-O “Oldies,” the oldies genre, refers not to the vintage of an artist, but to one specific aesthetic sweet spot: songs that combine themes of youthful ardor and innocence with declawed elements of rock ‘n’ roll, Brill Building songcraft and the uptown finesse of skilled traditional arrangers. Oldies are forever young, as are we all. It’s a Golden Age sound. Frankie Valli, the most famous falsetto in rock, has spent his long and formidable career dwelling on that sweet spot. The emotional potency of this music was leveraged in the Tony-winning musical Jersey Boys, which chronicles the life and times of Valli and his famous group the Four Seasons, and that show has been a turbo-boost for the still-vital Valli’s career. It is one thing to have fame reignited in a wave of nostalgia, and quite another to be up for capitalizing on it. Thing is, Valli has never gone away. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons will perform at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) on Saturday, April 7 at 8 p.m. Tickets run quite a range: $79, $99, $129, $249.

NIGHT SKY
Molasses And other lethargic items
S
pace is famous for zippy activity like streaking meteors. But it has another face, a slow-and-easy side. Venus, for example – which is floating higher each evening in twilight, low in the west – is the slowest-spinning body in the known universe. If you walked along a bike path that circles its Equator, you’d only need to go four miles an hour to keep night from ever falling on Venus. And the Moon spins slowly too, at just ten miles an hour. Saturn is also very slow. Its name is even used to epitomize sluggishness, when we say that something or someone is saturnine. The ringed planet, up before dawn, is morosely glued to Sagittarius this year, as it was last year – and will still be next year. In all the sky, nothing is slower than the North Star, Polaris. It appears glued in place, and if you see it hovering above some neighbor’s chimney, it will always reliably be in that spot, even 50 years from now. Shakespeare put a positive spin on this when he had Julius Caesar boast that, “I am constant as the Northern star.” Here on Earth, one substance epitomizes lethargy above all others. It’s molasses: “slow as molasses.” Okay, so how slow is molasses? And what is it, anyway? Molasses actually has three forms, which result from sugar refining. You crush the sugarcane and boil the juice; dry the sucrose; and the leftover liquid is first-grade molasses. If you then reboil it to extract more sugar, you get second molasses (and I hope you’re taking notes on all this). A third syrup-boiling creates blackstrap molasses, a wonderful low-calorie product containing lots of minerals. But we don’t really care about all this; what matters is how slow it is. Viscosity is the thickness of a liquid or gas in terms of how resistant it is to flowing. If water is rated at around 1 on the scientific viscosity scale, then blood officially rates a 3 ½. So blood really is thicker than water! Sulfuric acid is 24. Did you know that that scary acid is so syrupy? Enough fooling around: The all-time slowest-flowing fluids are: olive oil, with a

Nick Robinson in Love, Simon
Lunafest coming to FDR site in Hyde Park
Coming out, coming on Love, Simon is a sweet, timely rom/com for the gender-fluid generation
M
any Gen-Xers share an abiding affection for the John Hughes movies on which they grew up, especially the ones featuring the young actors who came to be known as the Brat Pack. They remember how old they were, where they were and who was with them the first time they saw, say, The Breakfast Club. But Hughes is gone now, and no director seems to have emerged as yet who groks the coming-of-age passage of Millennials in a comparable way. As evidenced on the streets of Washington, DC and many other cities and towns where the March for Our Lives recently took place, kids today are rebelling in ways that are both more sophisticated and more radical than the sheltered Reagan-era angst of their ’80s and ’90s counterparts. Or, to use the terminology that Millennials themselves prefer, they’re more “woke.� Even in an upscale suburban high school that’s the setting for Greg Berlanti’s new teen rom/com Love, Simon, they move more easily among a student body where being multiethnic is the norm, and they are not particularly shocked when one of their friends turns out to be gay. That capacity for social flexibility doesn’t soften the difficulty of coming out, nor even, for straight, cisgender kids, the time-honored adolescent awkwardness of figuring out how to make one’s romantic
interest known to the person upon whom it is focused. And bullying certainly still happens. In that respect, Love, Simon may be the closest thing we’ve seen yet to a contemporary spin on the John Hughes oeuvre. Beyond the fact that none of its teen characters seems troubled by any sort of family financial anxieties, they ring true for these times, and they are an engaging lot overall. Based on a 2015 YA novel by Becky Albertalli titled Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, it’s the tale of a high school senior (Nick Robinson) who hasn’t yet told any of his tight-knit group of friends or his warm, supportive family that he’s gay. Another student anonymously confesses his own gayness and sense of isolation on the school’s Tumblr blog, and Simon and “Blue� begin corresponding by e-mail. The first act of the film mostly involves Simon’s fantasies about who among his many peers Blue might be. Things get dicier when the class clown, Marty (Logan Miller), who has a hopeless crush on Simon’s friend Abby (Alexandra Shipp), takes screenshots of some of Simon’s missives to Blue on a school computer and threatens to out him if he refuses to help Marty get into Abby’s good graces. Fearful of alienating

principal and drama teacher, respectively. Coming along as it does not long after Call Me by Your Name garnered plenty of critical praise on the arthouse circuit, Love, Simon begs comparison to its more prestigious predecessor. The two movies have a lot in common thematically: Closeted young man with open-minded upper-middle-class parents pines in torment for seemingly unattainable idealized partner. Love, Simon isn’t set in Italy and doesn’t have such stunning cinematography, and I highly doubt that anyone’s going to nominate it for Best Picture of 2018. But truth be told, this reviewer actually liked it better. The characters are more developed, more relatable; and there’s much more of a plot, even if a few of its twists telegraph themselves a tad too obviously. The many teenagers in the audience at the screening I attended showed their approval vociferously, with many a hoot and cheer and “Awww� and “What?!� The travails and triumphs of Simon and friends spoke to them. Perhaps the Millennial generation has finally found a Brat Pack of its very own. – Frances Marion Platt
Blue, with whom he is inexorably falling in love without knowing who he is, Simon reluctantly, angrily complies. Marty the blackmailer/stalker is the movie’s closest approximation of a villain, but he’s played as more pitiable than detestable; and Simon, a far more sympathetic character, manages to fall pretty low himself, manipulating his closest friends – Abby, Leah (Katherine Langford) and Nick (Jorge Lendeborg, Jr.) – rather cynically to protect his secrets. Nor is his the only undeclared passion in this maelstrom of hormones. It all gets quite knotty, as young love often will. The great strength of Love, Simon is the overall excellence of its ensemble of young actors. Some of their adult supporters aren’t too shabby, either, including Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel playing Simon’s parents. Tony Hale and Natasha Rothwell are both very funny in recurring turns as the school’s vice

tepping through the unassuming entrance to the A & P Bar in the back half of a building on Mill Hill Road in Woodstock, you feel as though you might have been here before – but when? The renovation of the one-time market, then-video store was done to make the space seem familiar. The scene is casually set for comfort, with cozy tables on three levels and a massive rough-edged wood bar that

dominates the length of the room. Pierre-Luc Moeys, his wife Nina Paturel and Gemma D’Entrone pulled the space together in record time. “We found this space by accident,” says Moeys. “Somebody said, ‘Oh, the video store is renting. You need to open a restaurant there.’ We didn’t like it at first – thought it was too big.” After talking it over, the partners decided to split the space and use the back half to open a bar. Moeys and Paturel are the brains behind three other local restaurants – Oriole9, Yum Yum Noodle Shop and Lekker. The couple sold Lekker to their original chef Page Moll [it is now called Hash] and rehoused Lekker Catering in the A & P kitchen. “We have one location with two different businesses,

and it works. We set out to be a cocktail bar, but also have become a restaurant. You always become what the people want you to become.” While Paturel is a born-and-raised Woodstocker, Moeys hails from Amsterdam, D’Entrone is from London, their master bartender Carl Bester is from Cape Town and sommelier Lio Mag is French, so the cosmopolitan influence is a given. “It’s an international crew,” says Moeys. “The inside looks like it could be a bar anywhere in the world. This whole place was designed by Nina and built by local artists: the bar, the pottery, the neon and the lights – all local artists that reflect the Hudson Valley.” The menu features a mix of comfort foods, bar snacks and appetizers from all over the world, too, from Scotch eggs to cauliflower puttanesca, steak tartare and a local grass-fed burger, to name a few items. “Carl is a sorcerer with spirits. I run the
kitchen here. Nina does all the design. And the business is still really young. So every week, we’re still looking at what we have to do, how we’re going to do it,” says Moeys. He hopes to host the Hudson Valley Food Truck Festival there starting in May. “We’ll have a 40-seat patio outside in the summer, like a beer garden.” D’Entrone and her husband Eric had their wedding catered by Oriole9, one of Moeys and Paturel’s former restaurants, and the couples became good friends. D’Entrone says, “After my second son was born, I resigned from a big corporate job at Sotheby’s and stayed at home for a couple of years, and during that time we’d go out for dinner with them. And it came about that we both wanted to do something new and different.” “At A & P, Luc and I are the managing partners. I spend a lot of time here on the floor with customers and manage the operational side: the boring stuff like the accounting and ordering. It’s a wonderful combination – an opportunity to use my

SmokeHouse of the Catskills is closed for business, but all the lights are on and the radio’s blasting as Heidi Ferraro and her small staff move around behind the broad refrigerated display case. The meat trays are empty, and her husband Mike is hard at work at one end of the shop, trimming and cutting a massive chunk of beef. “I’m cutting meat for rouladen, jerky, special orders, some production – a little bit of everything,” he says. I questioned whether hunters can still bring in fresh-killed meat to be made into jerky. “No. We do take ‘farmer meat’ for people who raise pigs; they’ll bring in a leg, and we do all the smoking for them: hams and bacon. We used to do a lot of outside processing, but don’t anymore. We’re too busy.” “Processing” refers to making up to 70 prepared-meat products on the premises. Mike tips his head towards a door indicating where his sons, Peter and Michael, are working in the back of the shop. “We do our own production for the store. Our sons started working with us almost from the beginning. They make all the products; some are seasonal. We don’t sell any name brands.” The Ferraros also don’t use any fillers or preservatives to produce their knockwurst, bratwurst, liverwurst, salami, sausage, bologna, hot dogs and a huge variety of other specialties and cold cuts – just high-quality pork, beef, veal, lamb, poultry and spices, made with authentic German recipes. Mike and Heidi took over the famous Deutsche Metzgerei in 2001 when the former owners, Austrian-born brothers Bill and Peter Muellner, hung up their aprons after more than 50 years of butchering and smoking for the local clientele. They’d established the business in 1945, along with their father, and had built a strong reputation as a traditional German butcher shop with shelves full of European goodies. Mike says, “We figured they were going to sell it, and if they couldn’t find anybody to buy it, they’d close it. They had a daughter, an only child, but she wanted no part of it. We were customers and didn’t want to see it close. You’d never have anything like this around here again. I started working here a year before we bought the place, and after that, they stayed another year to make sure it was going smooth. Bill and Peter moved to Missouri. They must be in their 80s now.” “Before this, I was sitting at a desk doing secretarial work, and Mike was in construction,” says Heidi, who remembers coming here as a child. “The shop has such a history. Our customer base has increased. We carry a lot more than they used to carry; there was only the two of them. And if something doesn’t sell, or you can get it in the regular grocery store, I won’t keep it.” The imported stock includes jars and cans of condiments, pickles, noodles, baked goods and pretzels, kraut and other canned veggies, candies and chocolates: an intriguing plethora of non-perishable products. She claims a German heritage, but doesn’t speak the language, which some customers expect when they walk in the door and behold the Old-World atmosphere. “My grandfather was from the north. He never spoke German; he was very proud to be American. We’ve been there a few times, and I’d like to go back someday.” A trip in 2004 did take them to Reichenau in Baden-Württemberg, where they
business experience and, at the same time, be with customers. It’s been a lot of fun to create a place for the community, and we’ve had interesting interactions with locals and with people from further afield.” Moeys and Paturel have successfully “reinvented” themselves once again. “Everybody says that Nina and I do that. We always have a lot of irons in the fire. We are a known entity, but if the product is not good, in Woodstock you only last a week.” When asked if they have learned any tough lessons with their former restaurants – anything that they now realize is not a good idea or doesn’t work here in the Hudson Valley – Moeys jokes, “Like, to not get into this business?” He laughs. “I think because this area is growing really fast now – I’ve been here for 13, 14 years – it went from a very seasonal area to almost always…I mean, the winters can be busy, if there’s snow.” “The potential is unlimited; otherwise I would not keep building different places and doing other projects. I’m curious to see where it goes, where the tipping point is. We see in Woodstock so many new restaurants now. It does feel a little saturated, but it will show who’s here to stay and who will go.... People say we’re in the worst location in Woodstock. I disagree. It’s nice to be tucked away. People find us and say, ‘Oh, this is nice, it’s different.’ We always try to be a little different. That’s our trademark.” – Ann Hutton The A & P Bar is open for dinner and drinks from 5 p.m. to midnight Monday

purchased two new energy-efficient smokehouses from Maurer-Atmos Middleby GmbH. “It’s down by the Swiss border,” Mike says. “It’s gorgeous there.” Company representatives from the world-renowned supplier for thermal food processing actually came to Saugerties to set up the smokehouses and train the Ferraros in how to use them. The process entails brining slabs of meat in salt water, then eight to 18 hours of natural smoking. It’s a traditional German method that sets this operation apart from other area meat markets – of which there are few, in the first place. Customers come from all around the region and beyond for Ferraro’s handcut premium meats and fine cheeses. “We do custom cuts for whoever walks in the door, within reason. We’ll cut to order: prime ribs and roasts, butterflied, pounded out, whatever,” he says, casually waving his butchering knife around in the air. “We’re here every day, all day long. You don’t stop. You just keep making stuff.” Both Mike and Heidi were born and raised in the area, and they live only three miles up the road. They feel a strong connection to the community – his dad was a cobbler in Saugerties for 40 years and her dad ran a sawmill – and they’re aware of the privilege they enjoy to have a family business. I ask if they have dreams of doing anything differently, and the answer is no: not as long as Mike and Heidi Ferraro took over they can continue to provide quality Saugerties’ famous Deutsche Metzgerei service. in 2001 when its former owners, AustriThen I ask about the staff. “We have an-born brothers Bill and Peter Muellner, five people year-round, so there hung up their aprons after more than 50 are nine of us behind the counter. years of butchering and smoking meats Sometimes, like holidays, we’re shortfor the local clientele. staffed. It’s tough; it’s a hands-on job. It’s hard to find younger people who want to work.” “And it’s a weekend job,” Heidi adds. “There’s a lot going on for younger people on the weekends. The store has to come first, and we’ve been so busy. People think we have three days a week off. We don’t. We just like to make people happy.” They seem to be getting the job done successfully; a visit on any Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday will attest to how well. Take a number and plan to spend some time wandering around the store while you’re waiting your turn. And bring a cooler, as many customers recommend. You might want to stock up. – Ann Hutton SmokeHouse of the Catskills is located at 724 Route 212, outside Saugerties.

BOOKS Write what you don’t know
WORKSHOP
“ESCRIBIR BORRACHO, EDITAR SOBRIO” (“Write Drunk, Edit Sober”)
W
riter/novelist Steve Lewis will offer a writing workshop at the Gardiner Library on April 14 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The workshop’s title invokes a popular description of writing usually attributed to William Faulkner: “Write Drunk, Edit Sober.” Its aim is to provide strategies for writers who wish to let a story tell itself. Lewis offers another famous saying from sportswriter Gene Fowler to describe the writer’s plight: “Writing is easy,” he famously said. “All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.” The workshop will involve neither alcohol nor bloodshed. It’s about breaking through writer’s block. It’s about the virtues, the challenges and the exhilaration of letting the story tell itself. And then – and only then – about the relatively minor scrapes and bruises (and sleeplessness) that come along with editing. Bring pen, paper or laptop – and discover how to unblock the story you’ve been longing to tell.
Steve Lewis is letting his new stories tell themselves

“IT ALL BEGINS with f *cking around and intuition and without any idea of what you’re doing.” – Allen Ginsberg
I
t began for Steve Lewis in 1964, with a question from his “somewhat mentally ill” college roommate: “Have you ever written a poem?” The answer was no. Hadn’t entered his teenage mind. Lewis was a brand-new freshman at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He was, by his own description, a typically callow kid, a three-sport high school jock whose life on Long Island
Hookline is now open Wednesday through Sunday
revolved around athletics, going out with Judy Goldstein and playing pool on Jericho Turnpike. But somewhere in his testosterone-addled brain, Lewis knew he had to escape the Long Island middle-class life that he’d had growing up on Candy Lane in Roslyn Heights. Poetry – or writing of any sort – wasn’t part of his escape plan. “I remember getting on the Eastern Airlines plane at LaGuardia – the kind with the drop-down steps in the back – and I was thinking, ‘My life is about to change forever.’ It might have been my first conscious thought as a human being.” Once ensconced in Madison, Lewis’ mind turned to important things. The important thing: meeting girls. After batting zero-for-150 at that endeavor, Lewis discovered the magic of poetry – or at least the magic of the appearance of poetry. “I scribbled a whiny, selfindulgent, immature…dirge about how awful life was. On a napkin. I was midway into this thing when a slinky girl dressed all in black comes up to me and says, ‘What’re you doing?’” Bingo! as the poets say. Lewis continued his education writing
poems at bars and getting dates. But at some inexactly remembered point, the emphasis shifted, and writing took on an impetus of its own. Now, roughly half a century later, that impetus is as strong, if not stronger than ever. His scuffling days at Wisconsin came against a rapidly changing political landscape that neither he nor, it seems in retrospect, anybody else in America had foreseen. In a word, Madison was “exploding.” “For the first time in my life I was finding out that the myths about this country – we were getting into Vietnam – were just that: myths. And an enormous number of people were hurt and being killed by those myths.” Madison was at least as politically lively back then as UC Berkeley. Lewis remembers attending rallies there when Barry Goldwater campaigned, where Lyndon Johnson came to speak. He remembers passionate debates outside the campus union. By 1967, following protests against the Dow Chemical Company’s attempt to recruit on campus, the streets of Madison were being patrolled by 8,000 National Guardsmen. The FBI was on rooftops. Teargas was in the air. Lewis was a long, long way from Candy Lane. By that time, he had met the love of his life, his wife Patty. They’d had a son, the first of seven children. The times were serious, and Lewis found himself drawn to the underground literary scene – particularly after he and Patty moved to Milwaukee in pursuit of a postgraduate degree in Creative Writing. It was there that he met his best friend and mentor, a man named Jim Hazard. “That’s when

writing became a more central part of my life, not just something I liked or that I could do; it was something I had to do.” It was a heady time. The early ’70s found him living a happily “literary/ Bohemian” life. Just about the time he’d gotten an appointment to teach Creative Writing at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, he became the father of two. And just about the time he realized that poetry wasn’t going to pay many bills, he lost his teaching job. “That’s when we loaded up three dogs, two children, several cats into our Dodge Tradesman van and came east.” They took out a road map and wound up in New Paltz. They’ve lived in the town ever since. Necessity brought a new, lessBohemian-style realization to the stillunemployed young man. Lewis was by this time cornering the market on what he calls “Dad pieces.” He chuckles at the memory of his first freelance sale, to Baby Talk Magazine: “It was delivered free in diaper-service bags.” He looks back on his freelance days as an early example of a pattern that his writing life has followed. He calls it “stumbling into things.” Before there was ever any talk of finding a market niche for freelancers, Lewis found one: “Unlike today, there were no dads writing about changing diapers, breastfeeding or such. So, over the next bunch of years, as kids started to roll out into my life, I was writing for almost every parenting publication in the English-speaking world.” In the job-juggling world of the freelance writer/teacher, Lewis was an adjunct at almost all the regional colleges, as well as the Grand Old Man of Dad Pieces. By the late ’70s, Lewis once again stumbled into a what he remembers today as his dream job: He became a writing mentor at Empire State College, the SUNY system’s storied “college without walls.” It was a gig that lasted 35 years and only recently ended. “There was just no place that was more perfect for me, because it allowed me to be the kind of teacher I wished I had had. Not only was there one-to-one teaching, I wasn’t bound by any one educational theory, since there are many ways to read and talk about a book.” Over his years at Empire, Lewis kept his hand in the game, writing for magazines large and small (including several years as a columnist for the New Paltz Times). He wrote two knowing and affectionate books that drew on his unparalleled expertise as a Master Dad (Zen and the Art of Fatherhood and The Complete Guide for the Anxious Groom) and another about his g-g-g generation, Fear and Loathing of Boca Raton: A Hippies’ Guide to the Second Sixties.
Come the millennium and then some, not only had the seven Lewis children left the nest, they’d also begun their own families. Master Dad was becoming Master Granddad. One hot summer day about five years ago, the Lewis clan – all 15 grandchildren – were gathered in Hatteras, North Carolina. Lewis was alone with his five-year-old granddaughter Eleanor, swinging in a hammock on the upper deck of his seaside home. The two began a conversation familiar to every grandparent. She asks how old he was. He asks what she wanted to be when she grew up. The conversation stalls for long minutes. She huddles in the hollow of his shoulder. She wants to be 30, she says. He’s tickled, a bit confused. “Why 30?” he asks. “I don’t want to be little when you die,” she says. That answer, perfect and startling in its innocence and understanding, sent Lewis’ writing life on a new path. His voice still colors with wonder when recalling that conversation (which he has since written about in his new book of poetry, If I Die before You Wake). “I realized this child had knowledge that she was unaware of – much the same kind of knowledge that drove me out of my parents’ home and into a new life in Madison.” He’d come full circle, in a most unexpected way,

where he said he realized that “we know for ourselves intuitively much more than we seem to know.” That realization drove him to admit a certain weariness with what he’d been writing about and how he’d been doing it. “I thought, ‘I’m tired of writing things that I know. Or just using writing to speak my mind.’ Suddenly, I saw a chance to use writing to find out what I didn’t know, or what I knew without being able to articulate it.” Lewis had played with writing fiction periodically over the years. Now, he embraces it fully, as the best means of manifesting what he’d come to recognize about the writing life. He began writing a novel, with no thought of what it would be about, what its thematic goals were or even who his characters would look or sound or be like. “I started what turned out to be the novel I called Take This. It started with being down in North Carolina. I was on a line at the local gas station, getting a barbecue sandwich, and the person in front of me just said to someone else, ‘Take this.’ And I thought, ‘Oh my God, that’s what happens: The universe gives you stuff, everything from good stuff to really bad things, and that’s what we do: We take them and we go with them, because we don’t have any choice. This
is where we are.” He started the novel committed to the idea that he wouldn’t organize or program the story; he would simply let it write itself. About these wonderful and miserable things that life presents you with? It’s not about those things, he says; “It’s only what you do with it them that has any bearing on the quality of the life that you lead.” The process of letting loose every writerly inclination that he’d ever experienced has proven to be personally liberating. Writing every paragraph, he says, was like jumping off a cliff. “Suddenly, telling people what I thought was less important than actually finding out what was deeper and truer, whether or not it sold well – or at all. Whether or not anyone thought it was a good novel, I understood immediately that it was a true novel. A true story. Something revelatory
for me. And it held together; there was no organizational chart, no cards, no outline. I let the story tell itself.” The novel allowed him to uncover things rather than restate things. It was, in a word, “exhilarating” – so much so that he has published a second novel, Loving Violet: what he has called a “generational sequel” to Take This. The experience of writing both novels has plunged Lewis into more questions – the nature of love, its costs and rewards – than he might never have explored without Eleanor’s innocent wish. She’d be about 10 years old by now. Her grandfather is 71. Life – full as it is of stumblings and discoveries, of diaper-service bags stuffed with youthful wisdom and novels full of the real thing – awaits them both. – Jeremiah Horrigan

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
A one-plant gardener My friend Bob has found horticultural happiness growing crown- of-thorns
A
s I write, daily high temperatures are in the 30s and snow is predicted. Nonetheless, just a few warm, sunny days and almost everyone is going to be inspired to garden – or at least do something plantwise. Even my friend Bob. Bob’s non-interest in gardening was demonstrated decades ago as I was starting my first very-own garden at a house I was renting. Bob was there as I pushed my shovel into the clay soil of the lawn to turn over spadeful after spadeful. Bob watched peacefully, lying beyond the proposed plot with his head propped up on his hands. (Not so another friend, Hans, who grabbed another shovel and dug. Now that I think of it, perhaps I owned only two shovels.) Bob’s current interest centers around one plant: a potted crown-of-thorns plant (Euphorbia milii). Crown-of-thorns is very easy to grow because it’s a succulent. Like other succulents, crown-of-thorns can store water – in this case, in both its thick stems and its fleshy leaves. The stems, armed with stout thorns, are what give crown-of-thorns its common name. Legend has it that this plant was woven into the crown of thorns worn by Jesus. Although the plant is native to Madagascar, it had made its way to the Middle East by the time of Christ. But it probably was not the plant that made his crown of thorns. I once had a crown-of-thorns plant, and – unlike Bob, with his plant – pretty much ignored it as far as care. Mine flowered occasionally, which was enough, because I had a lot of other plants to entertain me. Bob, on the other hand, is becoming a crown-ofthorns maven, tweaking conditions to try to eke the most and best blooms from his one plant. We go back and forth on how much light they need (the more, the better) and how frequently to water (I suggest infrequent-but-deep watering). The final word has not been said. Differences of opinion may be traced to differences of plants. Crown-of-thorns became a popular plant in the 1970s, and new varieties were being offered, among them hybrids between E. milii and E. lophogona. The latter species has long, leathery leaves and flowers more freely than the former. Some varieties of these hybrids had stouter stems
Nowadays, my method to begin a garden is to smother lawngrass beneath wetted paper topped with compost for planting areas and wood chips for paths.

and thinner leaves; others had thinner stems and thicker leaves. Flower sizes increased, and a range of shades, from white to pink to red, became available. Not all hybrid crown-of-thorns plants enjoy the same growing conditions. Some of the hybrids prefer their soil consistently moist, rather than cycling between bone-dry and wet. More light is generally better for more flowers, although some plants need long nights without any light at all for best flowering. In a few weeks, Bob is going to prune his plant, so I’ll get a few cuttings to make plants of my own. The cuttings root in a month or two if their cut ends are dipped in cold water to prevent excess loss of the white sap, slid into a well-drained mix, such as peat and perlite, and kept slightly moist. So Bob has horticulturally evolved to lavish care on his one plant. He’s busy repotting it this time of year. I’ve also horticulturally evolved. I would no longer begin a garden by turning over shovelful after shovelful of soil. Nowadays, my method is to smother lawngrass beneath wetted paper topped with compost for planting areas and wood chips for paths, which avoids two problems with that first planting: having to wait a couple of weeks before planting, and then having to deal with the sea of quackgrass and other weeds that result from turning over the soil.
